The USA's two biggest multi-state lottery games produced $100 million+ jackpot winners within the same week — both in the state of Michigan.
Mega Millions was the first to turn out a grand prize winner. On Oct. 29, one lucky ticket sold in Michigan's Upper Peninsula region matched the first five numbers plus the Mega Ball number to win it all.
The jackpot was worth $140 million, or $94.3 million if awarded as one lump-sum cash payment. Both amounts are before taxes are withheld.
The winning numbers for the Oct. 29 Mega Millions drawing were 4, 19, 26, 28, and 39, with Mega number 14.
Then last night, about a week after the big Mega Millions jackpot, one Powerball lottery ticket sold in Michigan matched the first five numbers plus the Powerball number to win a massive $128.6 million jackpot. (The estimated jackpot prior to the drawing was $123 million.) If taken as a lump-sum cash payout, the amount is $70 Million, before taxes.
It is the first time a jackpot-winning Powerball ticket has been sold in the state of Michigan since the game went on sale in the state on Jan. 31, 2010.
The winning ticket was sold at the Uptown Book Store, 16541 Woodward Ave., in Highland Park.
The winning Powerball numbers were 7, 12, 23, 34, and 38, with Powerball number 33. The Power Play multiplier was 4.
The Power Play, a $1 optional purchase on top of the regular $1 Powerball ticket price, multiplies all non-jackpot prizes by up to 5 times. But if a player matches the first five numbers, they automatically get their prize upgraded to $1 million, regardless of the Power Play number selected.
In addition to the big Powerball jackpot winner Saturday night, another 11 players will receive a second-prize payout for matching the first five numbers, but not the Powerball number: 3 from Arizona, 1 from Florida, 1 from Indiana, 1 from Missouri, 1 from New York, 2 from South Carolina, 1 from Virginia, and 1 from Washington, D.C. One of the South Carolina players purchased the Power Play option, automatically increasing their payout to $1 million.
